Archeology | By the By

Shields Films — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:38:30 +0000

I first read about the band Archeology in a Willamette Week review and liked their style and attitude. Very Portland. After a listen to their music I was hooked. I started following them on Facebook and always had them in the back of my mind for a possible creative project. I eventually contacted them in the hopes they needed a killer music video…and they did. Jason, Daniel and I met up at my studio and hashed out video ideas for their single By the By. We planned a big two day shoot in St Helens and Scappoose with a few extras playing the choir. We had a great turnout and shoot…perfect weather and very sunny for a February in Oregon. The band killed it and I think we killed it on our end…but you the viewer will be the judge of that. I told Archeology that if they make it big (and they will) that they have to take me with them. Music Video. (3:31)

Times Gone By

Shields Films — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:02:20 +0000

I recently found an old CD of Peter Jenkins that he recorded in Portland Oregon years ago. His song “Times Gone By” was always one of my favorites as it brought so many wonderful images of past memories to mind. I knew the song had to be mixed with vintage super 8 film and played for the world. I recruited Melanie Brown to be my star and we shot on a cold November day around Portland…it all came together beautifully! The best part is Peter has no idea that we did this! So here it is…for art’s sake…enjoy.
